Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dinomight (dinomight) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Embedded lexers Initial Comment: I'm not sure if this has been proposed but i would love some input on the idea. I think it would be great to have lexing to work for embedded languages. You would have to of course have some sort of definable values that determine what tags define a block which imbedded code (specific to each parent lang). Let me explain what i mean by embedded. A really simple explination would be how javascript is embedded within html (by use of the <script> tag). Annother example being how php can be embedded in html (or the other way around depending on how you look at it) and furthermore, javascript can then be embedded into the html that is embedded with in php (you can see how this becomes recursive). If lexers could be encapsolated into others, the lexers would be more logically orginized and each only responsible for lexing her/her own code. I would love to see this sort of behavoir and i think that it would really extend the functionality of Scintilla ( specifically for notepad++ (which rocks).) -Dinomight the one reason i ask for this type of feature, is my quest to lex the mason lang (which is custom inline perl within html files). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=352439&aid=1371088&group_id=2439 _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest
